I pretty much feel the same way, however for some reason I'd consider a full electric or hydrogen/electric car over a hybrid.

However based on "current" technology, If I could choose any car and drivetrain combination today, it would be a turbo 1.4L Ecotec A6 package in a Malibu LT. Unfortunately, GM doesn't build that car.
